New Bern, NC
Quoted from MWhit:There is a lot of information to digest for someone like me that has never cleaned and waxed a playfield, looking for guidance.
Can I get a cliff notes version, or a check of my plan before I do my 1st clean and wax on a New Stern PF.
1) Vacuum to remove dust and loose dirt
2) Wipe PF with Naphtha (Microfiber towel)
3) Apply thin coat of Blitz
4) Buff the wax after it dries
5) Add new balls
6) Play a few games
Thanks!
I'm going to copy MWhit here for cliff notes except I'll be using a different cleaner/polisher. I too have my first pinball but mine is an EM from 1975 (Bow and Arrow and we think the game is a lot of fun). I've read as much of this forum as I can and honestly all the cleaning/polishing recommendations are getting a bit blurry.
VID1900 mentioned in the beginning posts that not all pinball machines are created the same. That is easy to understand and logical. I purchased Wildcat #125 to clean & polish my playfield because that's what the manufacturer endorsed. It's a Bally machine so I thought I should follow Bally's instructions. I'm performing my first cleaning today so I'm excited about the potential results.
